Day 37 - Koh Phi Phi Island

Today we got up around 8 to eat breakfast and get packed up so we could check out. A minibus picked us up and drove us to the pier the trip took about an hour and we arrived at the pier around 1030. The boat was pretty big, if I had to guess there was around 200 people or so. We left the pier at 11:00 and the trip took about two hours to get there. Once we disembarked the boat we  got on a long boat that took us across the bay to our hotel.

- On the long Boat

Our hotel was literally right on the beach you actually had to go in the water to get off the long boat and walk about 20 feet to the lobby. Once we checked in we were driven to our room wich was up the hill. The resort was huge with tons of bungalows all over the hill/mountain. Once we got our stuff settled in our room we made our way down to the hotel restaurant for some lunch. 

The food was delicious! I had grilled fish with sizzling rice. After we ate lunch we walked out to the beach which was literally right in front of the hotel. The water was super clear and shallow. We noticed that in the afternoon the water in the bay decreases tremendously like 5 ft! Anyways we stayed at the beach for a few hours and the went back to the room I relax until dinner. 

- Beach Outside the Hotel

Once it was around dinner time we went out and walked around the town and to the beach on the other side of the bay. All of it was really close together, the other beach was maybe half a mile from the bay at most. After walking around we eneded up stopping at a really cool looking restaurant called the rock. The restaurant looked like a ship on top of a rock about 2 stories above the road. Lo ended up having the shrimp fried rice which was really tasty.

After dinner we made our way back to our room. Tomorrow we are going on a snorkeling trip to phi phi Le island which should be really fun!
